Hi, http://activemq.apache.org/failover-transport-reference.html#FailoverTransportReference-TransportOptions says <<backup : initialize and hold a second transport connection - to enable fast failover>>
What means exactly "fast failover"? If you don't use it what do you miss? Subsidiary and less important question: is there a mean to set a timeout for this parameter when set to true? I guess not, I had a quick look in code. BackupTransport.setDisposed() is only used in FailoverTransport.stop() which is logical since the connection is supposed to be held. But when messages have been consumed does it make sense to hold the connections? Because when I use it, I find an annoying increasing number of connections in ESTABLISHED status, which looks like a kind of leak to me. Thanks Jacques
